Micro Systems are widely acknowledged as one of the most technically advanced medical mould making facilities in Europe. We specialise in the design, manufacture and validation of ultra-precision medical moulds and micro moulds for the medical, pharmaceutical and ophthalmic markets.
Micro mould toolmakers are highly specialised manufacturers who design and fabricate ultra-precision moulds for producing miniaturised plastic components weighing less than a few grams with tolerances in the range of 10 to 100 microns. These expert engineers combine advanced micro-machining technologies with specialised knowledge of micro injection moulding requirements to create moulds capable of producing intricate features and precise geometries at microscopic scales.
The micro toolmaking process involves utilising state-of-the-art micro-EDM equipment, laser machining systems, and ultra-precision CNC machines to achieve surface finishes and dimensional accuracies measured in micrometers. Modern micro toolmakers employ specialised techniques including micro-welding, photolithography, and ion beam machining to create mould features that conventional machining cannot achieve. The completed moulds incorporate sophisticated micro-cooling systems, precision ejection mechanisms, and ultra-fine venting systems essential for successful micro component production.
Working with experienced micro mould toolmakers provides several critical advantages for miniaturised component manufacturing, including:
Micro mould toolmakers serve industries requiring ultra-precise miniaturised components, including:
PlastikCity connects you with established micro mould toolmakers across the UK and Ireland who specialise in ultra-precision manufacturing and micro injection moulding applications. Our platform eliminates the complexity of finding toolmakers with specific micro-scale expertise, allowing you to compare capabilities, precision manufacturing equipment, and quality systems from multiple specialists. Each supplier has been vetted for technical expertise in micro manufacturing and quality standards essential for ultra-precise component production. The quotation process enables you to receive detailed proposals tailored to your specific micro component requirements, tolerance specifications, and quality objectives.
Micro moulds can achieve tolerances in the range of 10 to 100 microns depending on component geometry and material requirements. Toolmakers can specify achievable tolerances based on your specific part design and functional requirements.
Micro toolmakers typically use high-grade tool steels with specialised coatings, carbide inserts, and advanced surface treatments to achieve the surface quality and wear resistance required for micro component production.
Micro mould lead times are typically longer due to the precision manufacturing requirements, ranging from 12-20 weeks depending on complexity. Ultra-precision machining and validation processes require additional development time.
Micro toolmakers provide comprehensive dimensional validation using coordinate measuring machines, optical measurement systems, and scanning electron microscopy to verify tolerances and surface quality at microscopic scales.
Modification depends on the original mould design and required precision levels. Many micro features require complete redesign and specialised manufacturing techniques that cannot be retrofitted to conventional moulds.
Production volumes vary widely depending on application requirements, typically ranging from prototype quantities to millions of parts for high-volume applications like medical devices and electronic components.
